Right on the banks of the East River, this Murray Hill apartment has an enviable view of the river and city skyline. It’s a classy space of hardwood floors and gallery-white walls with a few pops of modern art livening things up. The white leather sofa was made for reclining and looks like the kind of piece a 1950s sci-fi author would dream up. While the galley kitchen is tucked away behind an alcove and has everything you need for self-catering. In the building, you’ve got access to a stunning roof terrace, lush with greenery and with a view over the tops of skyscrapers to the river and beyond. If you want to keep on top of your fitness schedule, guests here have access to a fully-equipped gym too. In Murray Hill, you’ve got buzzing eateries and shops galore on your doorstep. Strolling along East 34th Street you can reach the Empire State Building in fifteen minutes on foot letting you know just how central you are here.

Local guide
About Kips Bay
Kips Bay is a mainly residential neighbourhood, moments away from the rush of Midtown, which has lovely waterfront views across to Brooklyn and Queens. The neighbourhood combines historic brick townhouses with new high-rise apartments, and is home to some of the country's best hospitals - a good neighbourhood for the hypochondriacs amongst you perhaps? Some people accuse it of being non-descript and, it's true, it's definitely not going to win...
